The Multibeam Sonar System will have the following salient characteristics:

- Sonar bottom detection quality flags for each beam. Bottom detection uncertainty output calculated for each beam and output from the sonar in real-time.- Managed backscatter output (provides 100% beam footprint samples plus a 3dB beam overlap regardless of beam forming method) - Full beam watercolumn samples available for each beam (for least depth verification via Fledermaus and EchoView processing software.) Autopilot sonar tuning (for hands free sonar operation) - Adaptive sonar beam gating and fixed sonar gates. - Roll stabilization (for increased efficiency) - Real-time (automatic) sonar hardware performance check view (built-in test tool) - Variable swath width - Separate projector and receiver modules 200 and 400 kHz - Choice of equi-distant and equi-angular beam spacing Choice of 256 or 512 equi-angle and equi-distant beams - 1/2 degree x 1 degree at 400 kHz - 140 degree maximum swath from single flat-array receiver - Single sonar topside processing unit (TPU) with Windows OS capable of running Hypack and Applanix POS Controller software. TPU should have as minimum 4 separate video outputs, 8 serial ports, and 2 1GBit LAN ports with at least 1 Terabyte of data storage. - Sonar data is time-stamped in sonar to better than +/-0.5ms - Technical Service & Hydrographic Support personnel are available during regular business hours (EST).
